Oak Associates - Executive Opportunities - Successful Executive Interviewing

An interview is an opportunity to determine whether there are mutual benefits to conclude employment. You have the same right to information about a company and an opportunity, as a potential employer does to find out about you.

Prepare for the interview by researching the company, imagining how you would contribute, if you agree to undertake the current opportunity
Convince a potential employer what you can successfully contribute to the business, based on what you have done in the past and what you aspire to do in the future
Use the interview to determine whether your business and leadership capabilities match a particular corporate environment
Envision how you would provide leadership and what you would do to strenghten the organization
Practically think about doing what needs to be accomplished. Express these thoughts about the position during the interview
Probe any promises and establish how realistic the promises are
Ask penetrating questions about the business and the market positioning and carefully listen between the lines
Request to meet other members of the managment team and those who would report to you; find out what they like about working in the company
Don't focus on personal needs (i.e, salary requirements), when the time is appropriate, our consultant will support you
Use the confidential advice of Oak Associates to support you during the interviewing process
